Far from a Harvard student; just had the balls to do it.
god forgive me for my brash delivery,
but i remember vividly

Danger Mouse - What More Can I Say? (6.3MB mp3)
from The Grey Album
In 2003, a little–known DJ by the name of Danger Mouse created a “mash–up” album that remixed the music of the Beatles’ White Album and hiphop star Jay–Z’s Black Album to produce a new record called The Grey Album.
The swift and draconian legal reaction to the online dissemination of this technically illegal but culturally fascinating artifact gave rise to a “day of digital civil disobedience,” [February 24, 2004] organized by
music activism group Downhill Battle.Grey Tuesday, as the day of action was known, marks a potentially new site for a blend of online political and cultural activism in the highly charged realm of intellectual property expansionism.
